Today marks our 5th year being online 2009-12-12 14:10:43 being exact time of first server installation.

Many thanks to all the players, admins, helpers, supporters, haters, laggers, nabs, campers, spawners and whoever participated in this outstanding 2d game community. On a side note may i remind you certain servers are still active on a daily basis and you are more than welcome to hop in!

It feels soothing to write this all out once a year!

Take care SoldatsPs: i may or may not share some pics involving one particular nut and a culinary experience later on

Even then, the definition of "disrespect" varies heavily from person to person. If they're so weak in character that they take every petty insult personally, and consistently unable to resolve conflicts in any other way except getting ban-happy - they shouldn't be an admin. Of course there's nothing stopping them, but it only adds toxicity to an already small playerbase.

Of course players with administrative privileges can ban you at free will for any reason. It's always been that way. In the end it's the server's hosters who declare the rules since they are offering the service for free. If "don't disrespect admins" is one of them rules, you better not push your luck.

Unfortunately that's not a joke. That guy banned people for totally absurd things and he has a very bad reputation on 'public' community of soldat [I mean the public servers of course]. You can ask other players from Poland. Anyway 'Zabijaka' it's his servers so that's his business.

This is a common problem in multiplayer games nowadays. Yes, technically it's the server owner's server, they're free to set whatever rules they want. Ultimately though, a game's purpose is to be as fun as possible. If a game allows admins to power-trip without repercussions - it creates a bad experience for the players, which is contrary to what the game was made for.

Only thing that can potentially improve this is the inclusion of additional Terms of Service to the game itself, that would add some guidelines to what is acceptable admin behavior and what isn't, as well as some way to reward the former and punish the latter. At the very least I think every server should have a "kick/ban log" viewable from the lobby by any player, as well as last X minutes of the chat log for each kick/ban, or maybe even an autodemo before the kick/ban.
